Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the stomach is a rare entity with fewer than 100 cases of primary SCC reported in the literature, while esophageal SCC is prevalent and more common. However, a synchronous squamous cell carcinoma found in the esophagus and stomach remains very uncommon. We present the case of a 64-year-old with a history of dysphagia who had an endoscopy that showed an impassable stenosis of the middle esophagus, with histopathology in favor of an esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. A computed tomography scan (CT-SCAN) then showed an exophytic mass of the lesser curvature of the stomach with the biopsy in favor of a squamous cell carcinoma. Our case report aims to keep in clinicians´ and anaomopathologists´ minds that esophageal SCC may coexist with gastric SCC and that the role of imaging is important in the diagnostic procedure.
胃鳞状细胞癌（SCC）是一种罕见的疾病，文献报道的原发性胃鳞状细胞癌病例少于100例，而食管鳞状细胞癌则较为常见。然而，同时在食管和胃中发现的鳞状细胞癌仍然非常罕见。我们报告一例64岁有吞咽困难病史的患者，其内镜检查显示食管中段有不可通过的狭窄，组织病理学结果支持食管鳞状细胞癌。随后的计算机断层扫描（CT扫描）显示胃小弯有一个外生性肿块，活检结果支持鳞状细胞癌。我们的病例报告旨在提醒临床医生和病理学家，食管鳞状细胞癌可能与胃鳞状细胞癌共存，并且影像学在诊断过程中起着重要作用。
